"Ptolemy made a universe which lasted 1,400 years. Newton also made a universe, which has lasted 300 years. Einstein has made a universe and I can’t tell you how long that will last.”
- George Bernard Shaw pays tribute to Albert Einstein #OTD in 1930.

1. How off are we from the "REAL NUMBER" in sports (TDF for example)?
Just imagine what we call 200w is not really the real number. Imagine it´s 250w. We're 50w off. Is it problematic? Well, if sensitivity of the measurement is good, probably it would not.

@stevemagness I agree with your assertion, Deliberate practice doesn't explain the variance in perf' acquisition. However, is the reference to the above study erroneous considering the post research discourse?

I am a big admirer of your work
With my official graduation coming up in a month or so, I am super happy to have the 4th paper from my PhD accepted in EJSS
The intensity rather than the quantity of prior work determines the subsequent downward shift in the power duration relationship in professional cyclists
THREAD: Here are 10 insights I've learned over the last 5 years coaching executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes.
Almost anyone can burn bright for a few days. But few can burn bright for years upon years.
On sustainable success, peak performance, and career advice:

Pertinent to remember that the concept of what is nowadays often referred to as ‘zone 2’ training was probably MAF and already around in the late 60s early 70s

Including strength training with your endurance work can result in
Improvements of maximal muscle strength
Without increases in muscle size
Here is an example from national team cyclists
•
Valuable gains from small efforts🥇Brief periods of sprinting during low intensity rides may provide elite cyclists added performance📈 This is demonstrated in the publications and PhD thesis of @AlmquistNicki. A thread 🧵->
One of the highlights of this year's @ScienceCycling conference was @Spragg_Perform fatigue resistance research which can potentially revolutionise performance testing/prediction in athletes
Comparing fatigability in running and cycling:
"Running...is associated with greater impairments in nervous system function, particularly at the spinal level, whereas cycling...elicits greater impairments in contractile function"
